Hi i would like to know when did GM introduced the roller lifters in the Chevy

caprice 305 /5 liters ? would like to know this cuz i currently own a 1988 caprice LS wit a 305 4 barrel wich is very reliable i know it has roller's in this one. Now im looking at a killer price for a 1986 caprice brougham 305 4 barrel wich has much less millage on then mine (78k)vs(235k) plus looks much better.

Im asking this cuz i recently find out that flat lifters causes more friction , wear much much faster thus affecting the whole reliability of the engine . So i wanna know if the 1986 5 liters came with the roller one's . Im i better just keeping the one i have right now ,are flat lifters that bad ?

thanks for your input
